German Politics and the Jews

Düsseldorf and Nuremberg, 1910-1933

Anthony Kauders

Description

This revisionist account challenges the view that anti-Semitism was imposed on a majority of moderate Germans following Hitler's rise to power. Anthony Kauders argues that the Weimar Republic was instrumental in changing people's attitudes towards the Jews. The author studies the common man's reaction to the "Jewish Question" in two towns, Dusseldorf and Nuremberg, between 1910 and 1933.
